Kurt, It probably isn't hard to tell that the wave file playback was an afterthought in the current console design. Going forward, we have a much better idea of what we want to do functionally and we are going through what is likely to be a relatively painful process of creating a better architecture for the console.
I would imagine that the wave file playback would be a mode of it's own. It should only show the frequencies available (maybe 0 - 48KHz) and a zero line would be helpful. These things will only continue to improve over time. Thanks for the input.

First, with the "wrap around" behavior of tuning through the recorded bandwidth, it is very easy to loose track of "where you are" in the spectrum in the panadaptor. I'm thinking that a vertical bar at the original center frequency at the point when the wav file is would be nice. As you tune through the panadaptor spectrum, the vertical bar would move accordingly left or right on the panadaptor so that the original point of reference would be preserved. The other thing that would be nice would be to encode the original center frequency at the time the Record button was first pushed (filename will get pretty long with both the date/time and frequency though). Perhaps we could change to 24 hour UTC time and get back the 2 digits being used for AM/PM. Both of these ideas kind of fall apart if any tuning occured while the recording was going on, but I'd be happy with that limitation. One other thing - what happens to a Wave file record if you transmit while recording? I'd try it out but when it comes to transmitting I'm just a little shy of triggering unusual behavior. I'm guessing that nothing is recorded for the duration of transmitting. 73, Kurt KC9FOL _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz
